From Misinformation To Medicine: Forging Bipartisan Support to Reverse Anti-mRNA PolicyIn this article, I’ll share some of the progress AMM has made and the barriers the organization/our industry is still facing in our efforts to reverse the policy decisions that have been made against mRNA today. Throughout the panel, the speakers also shared their thoughts on the types of messaging we should be considering and/or have started to see making an impact.

The Expanding Patent Landscape For RNA-Based TherapeuticsThe COVID-19 pandemic thrust RNA-based therapeutics into the spotlight. Before that, only a handful had received regulatory approval. Why are RNA-based therapeutics seeing more patent activity now and how should biotech companies mitigate patent risks? Attorneys from Neal Gerber Eisenberg share their insights.

Multidisciplinary mRNA: What Can We Learn From Other CGTs?Overall, there are four high-level best practices/mindsets I proposed during a recent presentation that I believe will be crucial for us to bring some talented RNA therapeutic role models to the forefront. But there is one best practice that I think is worth emphasizing more than the others.

Innovations In The Oligonucleotide Supply Chain: Regulatory Considerations For Materials, Manufacturing, And Lifecycle ControlOligonucleotide therapeutics have rapidly advanced into late-stage and commercial development, shifting regulatory focus toward the maturity of manufacturing and supply chain control rather than therapeutic novelty. Regulatory success now depends on how effectively sponsors translate innovative chemistries into well-characterized, scalable, and sustainable materials and processes.
SUPPLY CHAIN VIDEOS
In this Advancing RNA Live clip, Khaled Yamout and Sanofi’s Francoise Ribes share the quality considerations that are top of mind when evaluating a novel raw material, as well as how the broader industry (i.e., standard setting organizations, suppliers, and biotechs) can arrive at a clearer understanding of a material’s quality.
There remain a lot of gaps in our understanding of plasmid quality, particularly for high-quality mRNA production (as opposed to viral vector production). In this segment of a recent Advancing RNA Live panel, speakers Adi Nair, Tyler Goodwin, and April Sena highlight their biggest questions around plasmid DNA quality, as well as the pros and cons of some of the analytical methods upon which we’re relying most heavily today to assess plasmid quality.
Camp4’s Satya Kuchimanchi highlights where he has seen the most growth in the oligo supply chain over the past few years, as well as which industry trends have been driving these shifts.
Discover how regional manufacturing, risk-aware practices, and agile strategies are reshaping supply chains to deliver resilience, transparency, and sustainability in today’s complex global environment.
